Throwing his heart in August 2022, Liverpool won the community shield for rival Manchester City with the campaign’s Curtain Razor, signed club records, and later clinchers to sign Darwinnes and arrive in British football.
The Reds may have won the battle that day, but it was their enemy who ultimately won the war, and together with Nunes centre-forward four, Erling Haaland, shook that initial disappointment to be considered in the Premier League.
Since both men arrived at their respective clubs that summer, Haaland has scored 121 goals in just 142 games for the citizens.
The people at Merseyside are fully aware, so their Uruguayan Number 9 is almost close to reaching such heights, with only 40 goals being looted in 143 games in all previous tournaments.
Whether Haaland is in the picture or not, a 25-goal return in 95 league matches isn’t just a scratching for Liverpool’s centre forward. The only question is who will replace him.
Latest search for Liverpool strikers
Arne Slot’s side hit the title without the need for an orthodox striker, but it is still unknown if it is a long-term solution, and there is still a dream target in the equation of the shape of Newcastle United’s Alexander Isaac.
There was a preliminary talk about the bid for Mappies Talisman being prepared, despite the fact that praise the Swedes from St. James Park is more than a difficult task, but there was a preliminary talk about the bid for the Mappies Talisman.
With that in mind, Givemesport reports that FSG is giving an internal talk on whether to move for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, with Liverpool saying “we will turn our attention to recruiting proven scorers.”
The Nigerian name said there was a high possibility that the 26-year-old would return to Galatasaray, where he lent 2024/25 in Turkey, but it came up at an internal recruitment meeting.
Osimhen’s £400,000 weekly wage demand previously appeared to be a stumbling block, but that number might consider lowering it.
The belief ensures that the man in the Reels is eager to stay in European football, amid the interest of rivals such as Manchester United, and that the doors were slightly opened for the FSG to raid.
How Osimhen compares to Alexander Isak
Isak is the person most elite European clubs want to sign if they pass the opportunity and is hailed as “the best striker in the Premier League” by national team boss Jon Dahl Tomasson.
With 44 league goals over the last two seasons at Newcastle, Ex-Real Sociedad Star is a talent demonstrated by the league-paid premier, and it’s no doubt that it has given a rave review of the massive flight defenders a blistering time.
That said, there is arguing that Osimhen was actually called “the best striker on the market” by Stadman Dave, representing Isaac’s upgrade.
In fact, 2024/25 reversed Osimhen’s corresponding scoring record towards the center, scoring 37 times in his stint in Istanbul, 26 of which appeared in Super Rig.
Meanwhile, ISAK scored 27 “Just” goals in all competitions on Tyneside, including 23 league goals.

Similarly, both enjoyed similar records in terms of their creative prowess, but they both created 11 “big chances” in league action, but it’s Osimen that appears to be the more dominant physical focus.
This is evidenced by the fact that he, according to his sofa score, he won 55% of his total duels and 60% of his aviation duels, but by comparison, Isaac averaged 33% on both these metrics in the Premier League.
Going back even further than 2024/25, Osimchen has been more prolific in front of goals in his previous senior career, scoring 151 goals in just 264 club career games over his time in Italy, Turkey, France, Belgium and Germany.
In comparison, Isaac has scored just 134 goals in 301 senior games in spells in Britain, Spain, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands, indicating that it is Osimen that is a clinical threat.
On the Champions League front, the latter man has also won nine times out of 17 matches in previous competitions.
Yes, the Newcastle star was a Magpie revelation, but Osimhen was a scoring monster in almost every club he did, except for a 16-game spell in goals at almost every club he did.
There remains a big warning whether the Napoli men can repeat those heroics in the Premier League, but all the signs point to him being the next centre forward to tearing it apart in the top tier of England.
He whispers quietly, but he may be better than Isaac…
